Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Lilith was momentarily stunned by this chain of events.

Quill's entrance was sudden and shocking. She had thought he was just a powerful hunter who came to help, but what he showed was extraordinary even for her standards.

Despite being able to see through his attack, she was still impressed by how quickly he moved.

During that moment, he swung his blade to the ground, creating a spark strong enough to blind everyone.

Then he moved, accelerating from zero to top speed without any preparation whatsoever.

So, with all of that variable combined, he was able to disorient his enemies' sense of time, making it appear that he moved in an instant.

It was an impressive feat, especially considering her own reaction time was not too shabby, despite her power not leaning on direct physical combat.

"Wait... Flazer ? Does he mean the legendary Flazer Family from the Tier 1 city of Tempest Fort?" she gasped.

Lilith had heard about this family extensively. She had invested considerable resources to gather information on the current powerhouses of the human world.

The Flazer Family was one of the twelve most powerful Hunter families known for practicing the Lightning Dragon Breathing Technique, often compared to another family skilled in the Thunderbird Breathing Technique.

Both families used lightning attributes, but they differed in how they utilized them, sparking numerous debates over which style was superior.

According to her information, Thunderbirds specialized in long charged attacks, using unrivaled top speed and penetrating power, akin to a predatory bird diving head-on from the air to catch its prey.

While Lightning Dragon users were quicker, they sacrificed penetrating power for faster acceleration, a trade-off that made them more deadly in combat against other hunters.

'Why is someone like him here in this place?' she mused inwardly, realizing this could complicate the situation.

She couldn't shake the uncertainty—was his presence here mere coincidence, or part of a larger scheme?

'No, that's not important right now. I need to act more normal or he might get suspicious,' she thought to herself.

"Thank you for saving me," she replied, adopting a maidenly and gentle demeanor.

She played the role of a damsel in distress so convincingly that even Dan felt their leader could apply for an acting career. She was just too natural.

"It was my honor to come to your aid, Lady…?," he asked.

"Lilith, my name is Lilith," she replied, keeping up with her facade.

"What a beautiful name, " he replied with a gallant bow. "Such beauty deserves nothing less than the utmost protection. "

"Thank you," Lilith nodded, hiding her skepticism behind a gracious smile.

Quill's words seemed sincere, but her instincts warned her to tread carefully. Men who talks like him tend to had a high ego.

"I really wanted to get to know you better, Lady Lilith..." his voice trailed off, as if it was difficult to let go of her hand.

"Unfortunately, I can't stay here long as I'm on a secret mission to save the world. I'd appreciate it if you kept this between us," he said with a chuckle, raising his hand to gently touch her lips.

But she tilted her head just enough to avoid letting him touch it.

Dan and the others where annoyed by his blunt actions, almost ready to fight him, but she intervened, stopping them with a raised hand.

"I will," Lilith replied, forcing a smile .

After her words of confirmation, Quill nodded, turned away, and ran , darting from one streetlight to another. Each leap propelled him higher until he landed gracefully on the rooftop of a nearby building.

"Bye " He waved his hand as a gesture, then continued jumping from rooftop to rooftop, his figure shrinking into the distance until he disappeared from view.

'What a weirdo ,' she sighed, she felt that her luck with men was really bad today.

First, a man-eating monsters who treated her like she owed him something.

And now, a horny hunter with a hero complex.

The issue was, both men were extremely powerful, so she couldn't even complain.

'If this were hell, I wouldn't have to tolerate this,' she added.

<Cafe>

"Who was that jerk?" Cyril rubbed her forehead, still feeling annoyed.

She was taking a breather on her balcony when a man carrying a katana and wearing a helmet jumped over.

Thinking he was an enemy sent by Vincent, she retaliated, only to be played around by his quick movements.

Then, out of nowhere, he confessed his admiration to her like a weirdo and disappeared after hearing an explosion in the distance.

'Why can't others be like him,' she sighed, remembering someone in her past who was different from other men.

Not once did she feel that he looked at her with any perverted thoughts, so she regained some hope that not all men think with their dicks.

Little did she know that the man in question didn't have a dick yet.

'I hope that jerk doesn't come back,' she sighed, feeling even more afraid than when she met Vincent.

After a couple of minutes, she heard the roar of engines. Looking down, she saw a convoy of damaged black sedans, some with doors destroyed.

In that split second they passed through her shop, she noticed something that even made her look.

'What a pretty person,' she thought, a compliment that meant a lot coming from someone as attractive as herself.

***

Lilith and her group passed a seemingly ordinary Cat Cafe and headed directly to the gate to exit the Walled City

The night air was thick with tension, each member of the convoy on high alert after the unexpected encounters they had just faced.

As they sped towards the laboratory, Lilith replayed their encounter in her mind.

His quick movements and the way he effortlessly disoriented their senses of time.

'Can I beat him?' she thought to herself. She excelled in other aspects, but fast opponents would be a bad matched with her fighting style.

In Hell, at her peak form, it wouldn't matter. However, her current body was at best equivalent to the power of a Middle Rank Demon Lord.

She thought she was safe in this city, believing that her current power was enough to put her in the list of one of the strongest.

'Speaking of the strongest? Can he beat him?' she wondered, her mind imagining Reign.

She had not fought him directly, but when he released his aura, she could tell right away that he was way stronger than her.

'No, I think it's also a bad match-up. I feel like he's also weak against fast opponents,' she thought, assuming that Reign might be strong but not particularly fast.

The lightning attribute was the fastest attribute.

Even in Hell, devils who could control lightning were more powerful and revered, but they were few and far between.

So, Quill having mastered his own lightning attribute to a level that could even threaten someone like her, just showed how dangerous he was.

'I need to tell him to be careful, or he might end up fighting that weird hunter,' she made a mental note to warn her new ally.

She needed him to stay healthy for her own goals, after all.
